Summary/Abstract: The church of the monastery of St. John Vladimir near Elbasan, in condition of today’s preservation, holds a considerable collection of sculptural elements of different historical periods [Tab. I, 1]. Most of them are reused in its body, while others are located in the courtyard of the monastery. Only the sculptural elements with the inscriptions of the reconstruction of Prince Karl Topia, in three languages and the plates with his emblem, have been published, always in an epigraphic and not architectural context.
